For a spiritual and physical double-whammy, we like to combine the healing properties of breast massage crystals with the ancient herbal medicine of our breast massage oils. Check out these seven ways that you can use breast massage crystals, and create the self-care ritual that’s perfect for you.

Get Happy

Breast massage is scientifically shown to decrease stress and lift depression by promoting the release of “the love hormone” oxytocin–so much so that some studies suggest replacing oxytocin therapy with pharmaceutical medication for the treatment of depression. A little self-love never hurts, either!

During your moon time, your body retains fluid, making your breasts swollen and tender. Using breast massage crystals for a gentle massage not only relieves bloating and tenderness, but also promotes the production of pain-relieving hormones that will reduce cramps and help your period pass more quickly.

If you tend to feel sensitive during your moon time, try a self-care ritual with a beautiful, shimmering labradorite breast massage crystal to help protect you from negative energies. Combine your labradorite massage with poke root breast massage oil, a time-honored herbal remedy for removing the swelling and blockages associated with PMS.

Heal Mastitis

Mastitis — an infection caused by a plugged milk duct — is a common and painful occurrence for breastfeeding moms. Luckily, mastitis can be both prevented and treated with gentle breast massage.

If you’re breastfeeding, treat yourself to a regular healing breast massage with an agate breast massage crystal that you’ve warmed under hot water to keep your milk ducts clear and your breasts healthy. You can even treat plugged ducts and mastitis by using your breast massage crystal during a hot, relaxing bath or shower. Note: due to its strong medicinal properties, breastfeeding mothers should avoid poke root oil, and opt instead for our vibrant breast massage oil.

Enhance Breasts

Ayurvedic medicine utilizes breast massage for increased circulation, toxin drainage, and bust enhancement. In Western medicine, breast massage provides a similar benefit: it promotes the production of the hormone prolactin, which actually causes breast tissue to plump up and become firmer.

Getting to know the shape of your breasts through regular breast massage is vital to keeping your breasts healthy. But in addition to the benefits of knowing your breasts well, using breast massage crystals increases the production of lymphocytes, the cells that make up your immune system and keep cancer at bay.
